Question

if p(x) = 1/3x square - 5x + 3/2 then the sum and product of the zeroes are

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the roots of the polynomial is:

α+β=−b/a

The product of the roots of the polynomial is:

αβ=c/a

then

a= 1/3

b=-5

c=3/2

sum= -b/a= -(-5)/(1/3)= 15

product= c/a= (3/2)/(1/3)= 9/2
